HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL,
we have so much to be thankful this time of year...i am thankful that GOD answers prayers. no matter how big the problem or how small. we had been praying for this young lady at church.. she had brain cancer...she came to church a few sundays ago and was so weak she could hardly walk.. she was in the hospital for 10 days at a time for radiation and chemo....now the good news is the pastor of our church wrote me an e-mail yesterday evening. he said that it had shrunk and they were talking about gamma knife. don't know what that means...and how the cure rate...its so positive i had to share it with you... take care and GOD BLESS... all of you. you are in my thoughts and prayers daily...but the way. her name is LORI .and her husband is TODD....

IF HE BRINGS YOU TO IT.. THEN HE WILL BRING YOU THROUGH IT..

hi all. Just wanted to be included in the prayer group. I know God doesn't put you in any situation that he his not going to bring you out of. Our problem seems to be that most of the time we dont let it happen in Gods time and his is prefect. So wish to you all is that yoou be blessed with the ability to handle waiting for things to happen in God's time and in his way. Blessing to you all

Cheri, I esp. need to enjoy my spouse more. I'm really struggling. This is a time to be thankful. Just frustrated this am cuz he missed his Dr. appt. and as I told him all he did was roll over and go back to sleep. He's been off a wk. and now the Dr.(mine) who was going to look over his tests she will be closing her practice becuase she has breast cancer and needs surgery and treatments. The receptionist asked me to pray for her because she has no job now (still there next wk.) I need to be thankful my husband doesn't have cancer and enjoy him when he's not complaining (a rare moment) sorry that doesn't sound very grateful. I should have PM'd you Cheri.Sorry. Some of you like donp know my situation too. Don I will pray for Lori and Todd and learn to count my blessings. Why sometimes do we not realize how good we had it till it's taken away. We had no hot water and when it's back how thankful for hot water. I need to apologize to God for this. I thank him often when the sky is gorgeous. I feel like he did it just for me. His creation all around us is beautiful and there are beautiful people and my husband is a great man. We need to always look for the good. It's there, just need to look. My Psychologist, whose wife has the cancer (my Dr.) said even out of this some good will come. We grow thru those times.
Mamabear,How right about God's timing and waiting. I hope I learn this. His timing and his way. Yes, thank you.

Happy Thanksgiving! Isn't it a wonderful thing that although all of us are doing the Combatting Stress and Depression Program Program, that is what is helping us, yet God is who we are praising and asking help of? What an excellent combination. I know God brought me to this program, because I cried out to him in complete desperation, and he heard me and answered me by leading me to this program. It has helped me and is changing the way I am thinking to a degree that people have said my countenance is changing! (probably the worry and fear aren't there)
Anyway, I wanted to tell all of you that as I pray for you all, and know you are praying for me...it's working. God has given me this wonderful new life and I intend to use it for his Glory and the benefit of myself and those around me.
God bless you all this Thanksgiving
"Now unto Him who is able to keep you from stumbling,
And to present you faultless before the presence of His Glory with exceeding joy,
To God our Savior who alone is wise
Be glory and majesty,
Dominion and power,
Both now and forever.
Amen

Dear Barb G; Quote"I hope I learn this. His timing and his way"
that is just what we all need to learn.

"Any time we haven't learned to wait well the results are obvious, not only in the way we behave emotionally but also in our phisical boidies. Waiting is a lareg part of life, and if waiting always brings frustration, it creates stress that eventually takes a toll on the physical body and can cause sickness, This prticular person that did not "wait well" was very sick at the time with physical weakness that his doctor said had been produced by years of stress. Take a new attitud toward waiting, and it will not be so difficult for you.

"But let endurance and steadfastness and patience have full play and do a thorough work, so that you may be [people] perfectly and fully developed [with no defects], lacking in nothing. - JAMES 2;4 AMP

Dear Carol sveiven' I rejoice with you I know what you mean by God leading us to this program and to this web sight. God is so good, and it is so great to read a good report. I want to thank you all for your prayers as well. I do agree THEY ARE WORKING!!! God Bless us all!!!

Dear donp; I love your new holiday pictuer, and your menue, My husband and I turned down 4 invitations, and that was gratifying, but he wanted to enjoy the day together, he cooked with me, and opend a bottle of wine, and we spent the day just resting together, it was wonderfull, like a vacation at home. and a first in our year of new beginnings. Yes thank you for asking I did have a wonderfull Thanksgiving.

Most of all I am thankfull for this program and all it has done for me, and us, and getting to know all of you, is a dubble blessing.
Keep looking up
8^) Cheri

<span class="ev_code_PURPLE">i, too, like your new avatar (picture) Don. Praise God for the holiday stories. My day was nice, too. The managers at work were awesome about putting out a holiday spread for us--and there were many well-wishers and blessed conversation. Praise God!</span>

Step out in Faith; I want to encourage you not to be afraid to step out. Even if you make a mistake, it won't be the end of the world. Don't spend all of your life looking back wishing you had tried different things of done things differently.

like in the post "If you wake up tomarrow"
"IF" that says allot

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity
of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear] but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well=balanced mind and discipline and self-contole - TIMOTHY 1;7 AMP

We need a back bone, not a wish bone. it is almost 2007, 2006 may not have been your best year, but you can still have a great ending.

God Bless

mcgrace,cfe,barb G,
thanks so much for your posts...and wanted to share something of praise with you. i had told some that a lard named loori was suffering from brain cancer. she was on chemo and rad...snd this past week it shrank to half the size that it was...GOD does still answer prayer and then they are or already did use the gamma knife...where they just treat the cancer and not all of you....you know what i mean....and she was anble to fix macronni and cheese and a pumpkin pie at thanksgiving. that is a blessing in itself....i hope that this makes you feel good inside... i did me....
and we had a wonderful thanksgiving, my wifes daughter and her had not got along in a long time. but now they are talking again.. her daughter is sick with alpha 1 and its a long atory. plus she takes meds and goes to different drs..so she can get more meds...but thats another story..take care and may GOD bless each and every one of you...and i will be praying for you....tonight they are having a gospel trio called social security at the church.. will let you know how great it was...
GOD BLESS....
